About Best Bets

The Best Bets racing magazine is an Australian icon amongst racing punters, with
the much loved race book passing its fiftieth year in circulation. Affectionately
referred to as "the Bible" by regular readers, the success of the racing magazine
comes from it's concise, relevant, need-to-know format which packs in a stack
of key form statistics and comments for every horse at all major race meetings
across the country, every day of the week.

Best Bets expanded its network beyond the 3,000 plus retail
outlets who sell the hardcopy magazine, to include it's website www.BestBets.com.
The website offers punters easy downloadable access to the popular race book
format online.

Best Bets Format

If you talk to regular readers of the betting magazine they'll tell you they can't punt without it. It's features and format make it the ideal information source for the time-poor punter.

Handy size - makes it easy for punters to carry around.

Easy to read format - allows punters to quickly glean all the relevant information
for each runner in a race.

Effective use of space - means punters get quality information without having
to open up reams of newspaper or navigate through website pages.

Racing coverage

Best Bets is available seven days a week and covers all key race meetings across
the country including regional non-TAB meetings that do not appear on on-line bookmakers.
Punters can only access hard copies of the popular racing magazine on Saturdays
and Wednesdays, but the Best Bets website allows punters to download race
books for meetings held on any day of the week. Punters buying a hard copy of
the magazine from their newsagent or local outlet are issued with a unique Free
Form Code in the book which allows them to access all the race books
online for the race day covered by the magazine. For example if you buy Saturday's
edition in hardcopy, you will usually get race books and tips for the feature
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide race meetings in the hardcopy pages.
By entering the code into the Best Bets website, punters get online access to
all the race books for every race meeting held on that day. Punters
who prefer to read their form in hard copy can print the race book in various formats.

Race books are usually available online three days before race day and in hard
copy at retail outlets a day later.

Best Bets Expert Tipsters

Best Bets has recruited the who's who of racing form analysts with each member
of the team contributing to multiple Best Bet editions throughout the week.
On Wednesdays and Saturdays no less than three form experts review each meeting
and provide their top four selections for each race. One of the three form analysts
provides a race overview for each race which usually includes a narrative explaining
the race speed map, the key gear changes and highlights the runners to look
out for. Each runner's form statistics are then presented in order of their
saddle cloth with a specific comment for each runner provided by one of the
senior form experts.
